Well, it's Do or Die now. A win tonight staves off possible elimination for 4 days. A loss sends the Canucks packing into the off-season with a whole lot of decisions to make. While a progression past this first round seems unlikely, if not impossible, Canucks fans are hoping to see their favourite team return home for at least one more game.
Tonight, though, the big question is: Will he or won't he? Will Daniel Sedin be healthy enough to make a triumphant return to the lineup? Many Canucks fans are praying to see #22 on the ice tonight, in hopes that his return can spark the team into a belated appearance in the "win" column.

You Know What I Hate?! - April 16th

Ryan Kesler is angry. And so am I. But when I'm angry, I don't collapse in a heap and
immediately look at a referee with my hands in the air.

Today I continue my weekly feature of me venting and raging on stupid crap happening with the Canucks, their fans and around the NHL. Two things about feature... 1) It will appear (hopefully) every Monday, and 2) It is blatantly ripped off from a stand-up bit from comedian Craig Anton. On either point, I make no apologies. Enjoy. Or don't.
This week, I give a Shanaban to the "Faint Hope" clause, Playoff Kesler and my own inexplicable beliefs.

The Good and the Bad of this past week.
It's Friday. So we close out the "Week That Was" with our latest volume of... "Cheers and Jeers!"
This week, I throw a pane of glass on Shanny and thin-skinned Canucks fans, while I make no subsequent apologies for liking Cory Schneider and our friends at Smug Nation.

It didn't take long for Canucks fans to hit the panic button. Ah, the playoffs. When a single loss moves this city and the Canucks fanbase to complete an utter dispair, and a single win drives them to sheer elation. Thank goodness Canucks fans aren't prone to outrageously overreacting to things.
Despite the eye-ball test of Game 1, where the Canucks looked like they were severely under the gun for the entire game, it wasn't all that bad by the underlying numbers. In fact, despite the result, there was plenty about which to be encouraged. The club's ultimate undoing was entirely their own, easily correctable fault.
So the question is... can they correct it?
